We host an event on the last Friday or Saturday of each month (with the occasional exception). This ranges from events in our building, such as our tracks and trails event, to walks out and about around the local area to see what wildlife we can find. We also hold three 'event weeks' through the year, so keep your eyes out for information regarding these.
Craig y Rhondda official launch weekend
We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who came along to our Craig y Rhondda launch weekend on 17–18 May! It was a joy to welcome you and enjoy some stunning weather together as we officially launched as an A Rocha UK Partner in Action.
Over the weekend, we explored the local landscape together — from the reptile walk at Clydach Vale Country Park to the walks in Cwm Saebren forest both day and night, and a shared dinner back at Gwynant.
🦎 On our reptile walk, we spotted slow worms
🐦 During our birdsong walk we heard and saw wood warbler
🌳 At the crop cycle session, we talked about how we work together with our partners in the area
🦇 The bat walk didn't disappoint, with 8 bats seen
🍞 And of course, there was plenty of food, conversation, and curiosity shared throughout the weekend.
We're especially grateful to our event partners and all the species experts and volunteers who helped make the weekend such a success.
What’s Next?
This is just the beginning! Craig y Rhondda will be running regular nature events, walks, and citizen science activities over the coming months — open to anyone who wants to explore, learn, and help care for our amazing valley.
📅 Dates for upcoming events are to be confirmed, but keep an eye on our Events page, and follow us on Facebook for the latest updates.
